- Always buy more than you think you would need.
- Equal wire lengths should always be used to maintain an equal
balance in sound volume.
- Sound quality is lost when using thin wire gauge over a long
distance.

Measure the distance from the designated speaker location to your stereo receiver. Try to minimize your distance without compromising
on your overall appeal and safety concern. Once the route is determined, use your spade and trench to dig the hole for the subwoofer
and a wire route between 8”-12” deep once the trench route is completed, lay the cable in the route. If using the PVC pipe, cut the pipe
to length, ensure all electrical connections are watertight with silicone burial connectors. Once the cable layout is done, connect the
subwoofer & refill the trench & subwoofer hole.
Important to install a service loop (some extra wire between the subwoofer and the equipment / slack,
in case there is a need for movement or any damage to wire over
time to give you additional to work with). Also, it is important
when trenching the soil to clear away rocks, roots, gas pipes,
water pipes and any other obstructions that
may cause damage to the equipment or shift over time.
